  1. Obligatory on Nokia N-Gage Cracked · · Score: 3, Funny

    You bought an N-Gage, didn't you?

  2. Napster on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

    Most people unintentionally deleted all their MP3s when they uninstalled Napster :)

  3. Re:RIAA tactics on Legal US Music Downloads Beat CD Single Sales · · Score: 1

    Their figures for that quote were for Cassette singles as well...

  4. Scratchcards on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to go with scratchcards. It installs a little proggy that spawns popup ads every 30 seconds or so, even when the user is idle. Some computers at a lab got this parasite, and there were stacks and stacks of popup ads, even takes a few minutes to close all of them. So many popup ads that Internet Explorer would eventually crash every time the scumware opened a new popup ad.

  5. with a sample size that small on Study on the Effects of Spam on End Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With a sample size that small, I'm amazed they got any information from that study.

  6. XP Knows Best on How Not To Install Computer Hardware · · Score: 1

    Here's how NOT to install software:

    XP Knows Best

  7. Re:Top ten Windows apps to install. on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    The GUI!

    Much easier to add files to a project and click a button then to learn how to write makefiles...

  8. Re:tetris? on Nintendo Announces Wireless GBA Adapter · · Score: 1

    You'll have to wait for the upcoming Tengen Tetris for the NES... I hear it's coming out some time in...oh 1988. And by wait I mean pirate it, or wait for the legal tetris mess to settle down in a few hundred years or so.

  9. Re:More to it than that... on Nintendo Announces Wireless GBA Adapter · · Score: 1
    I had seen a very good explanation as to why this was impossible (written by an emu writer, I believe), but I can't find the link.

  10. Re:Data port speed on Nintendo Announces Wireless GBA Adapter · · Score: 1
    gameboy which can't be upgraded by your common person

    What about the Afterburner?

    *cough* nimda on korean visual studio.net *cough*

  12. Re:Does the state dept. read /. ??? NO on Virus Knocks Out U.S. Visa Approval System · · Score: 2, Funny

    You forgot to mention SCO :)

  13. Re:Ick. on (Yet Another) Mobile Keypad · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... I've typed on a TI83 for a while, and the A-Z layout might be more comfy than the qwerty layout.

  14. let me know on $300 Linux PDA from Royal to feature Qtopia · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Let me know when it's actually possible to develop for Linux PDA's from within Windows. Developing for those things is impossible without running linux on the compiling OS, and there's no good reason why there isn't a cross compiler for windows floating around.

  15. Re:rainy day activity on Googling Your Way Into Hacking · · Score: 1

    Homestarrunner.com left their WS_FTP.LOG files up for a while...
    #1 #2 #3

    At least they took the one out of their root directory.

  16. I have a 5500 on Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 PDA Review · · Score: 1

    I have a 5500, and I run windows.

    How on earth do I compile software for the Zaurus?

  17. Re:The Code! on Using Your Cellphone To Control RC Cars · · Score: 1

    No, just B A once. Anything after the B A is ignored, so yours will work, but it has two extra button presses on it.

  18. Re:i bet he never on Getting Inside Einstein's Head · · Score: 1

    If Einstien was into case mods, I'd bet he'd get slashdotted so fast...

  19. Re:Already been done on Power-over-Ethernet: IEEE 802.3af Draft · · Score: 1

    Slashdot automaticly adds spaces to long strings of text to prevent page widening abuse.

  20. Ghostbusters on Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening · · Score: 4, Funny

    Did anyone else think 'Ghostbusters' when they started talking about the Keymaker?

    "Are you the gatekeeper?"
    "I am the Keymaster!"

  21. Job Saver on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember an old Windows 3.1 program called Job Saver. It came in the book Windows Sound Funpack as shareware. It played .wav files randomly, with specified frequency (how often), and among the default sounds were 3 different wavs of keyboard clicks, coughing, throat clearing, and computer beeps. It could be set to go off automaticly at after a certain time of Inactivity.

    Not sure if anyone actually tried it at work though :) Google isn't turning up anything on it, so it seems to have disappeared.

  22. Enough of that... on NVidia Accused of Inflating Benchmarks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Show me the Quack 3 Arena benchmarks! Then we'll decide which card is the best!

  23. Re:Can't Spot it. on 606 Takes To film Rube Goldberg-like car ad · · Score: 1

    Flash 6 uses Sorenson video, same video codec as quicktime.

  24. Re:Patience is a virtue! on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    'Embiggens' is a perfectly cromulent word.

  25. Definatly Fixklez on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 1

    Definatly a copy of FixKlez or something like that, seen too many systems infected with Klez.
